Introduction: Genetics, cellular and molecular medicines are cutting-edge sciences and technologies that play an important role in improving human health and quality of life. In addition, medical and biological sciences have clearly shown that the onset of diseases differs from person to person due to their different genetic profiles and variations in molecular basis. Therefore, it is feasible ...
متن کاملSuper-Resolution Microscopy: A Virus’ Eye View of the Cell
It is difficult to observe the molecular choreography between viruses and host cell components, as they exist on a spatial scale beyond the reach of conventional microscopy. However, novel super-resolution microscopy techniques have cast aside technical limitations to reveal a nanoscale view of virus replication and cell biology. This article provides an introduction to super-resolution imaging...
متن کاملApplications of nanofibers in the diagnosis and treatment of cancer
When a cell’s DNA is damaged, the injured cells react by changing from normal to malignant cells, rather than dying or repairing the damage. Metastatic cancer is the deadliest kind of cancer since it refers to cancer that has spread to other parts of the patient’s body. The need for cancer detection techniques that are rapid, non-invasive, and accurate is growing. Cancer diagnosis, monitoring, ...
متن کاملOpen-source Single-particle Analysis for Super-resolution Microscopy with VirusMapper
Super-resolution fluorescence microscopy is currently revolutionizing cell biology research. Its capacity to break the resolution limit of around 300 nm allows for the routine imaging of nanoscale biological complexes and processes. This increase in resolution also means that methods popular in electron microscopy, such as single-particle analysis, can readily be applied to super-resolution flu...
متن کامل* Single - molecule fluorescence imaging by total internal reflection fluorescence microscopy ( IUPAC Technical Report )
Total internal reflection fluorescence (TIRF) is a popular illumination technique in microscopy, with many applications in cell and molecular biology and biophysics. The chief advantage of the technique is the high contrast that can be achieved by restricting fluorescent excitation to a thin layer. We summarise the optical theory needed to understand the technique and various aspects required f...
